[T3] Type 3 Birth Certificate

[Dave Hall]

You're quite right - I need to update that page.  I could add lots of pages
of info now; I know a lot more than back then.

Subject: [T3] Type 3 Birth Certificate

I contacted the link http://home.clara.net/hallvw/dating.htm that Dave H.
included in his response about documenting a Birth Certificate for my car.
The document (revised 20-Sep-2006) indicated that the cost of the research
service was about 20 Euros. (That was $26.75 USD in 2006.
Ah ... 7 years of inflation.)

In a response, Doerk, Wolfgang (EXTERN: VMUSE)
<extern.Wolfgang.Doerk at volkswagen.de> said the cost is now 50 Euros.
That's $66.87 USD.

For that cost providing the service Mr. Doerk said:

"We are pleased to research data of your Volkswagen and to draw up a birth
certificate with the recorded data regarding colour, date of manufacture,
port of destination, possible options and the kind of engine."

"Do not forget to inform us about the chassis number of your vehicle and the
engine number. Because of data protection we are not allowed to inform you
about the original engine number. However, we are able to proof if the
engine number you will give us correspond to the chassis number of your
vehicle.
Please inform us about the name of the vehicles' owner and the complete
address where we should send the certificate to, please.
We need approximately four weeks for the research.
New: You also can order a birth certificate directly about our internet
homepage www.volkswagen-automuseum.de. There you can find the link
"Zertifikats-Generator".

So, IF it's important for you to have documentation about your Type 3, it is
available ... for a price.
When I get back to my stored car in Wisconsin and physically inspect my
tags, stampings, etc., I may order the Birth Certificate for my Type 3.
